"I've tried every possible means to invite you here, but I just want to beg you."
The Empress Dowager stood up with difficulty and pretended to salute Mu Yunhan.
Mu Yunhan looked at her coldly, waiting to see how she would end up.
Unexpectedly, the Crown Prince actually knelt down with a bang and burst into tears: "I beg you, for Yan'er's sake, protect the Zhao family on her last journey."
The afterglow of the setting sun slanted into the room from the window, and the light and shadow hit the face of the Empress Dowager, which made her look indescribably old and tired.
Mu Yunhan was silent for a long time and said softly: "I'm just an ordinary little girl."
Now, she just wants to stay with the people she loves, and she just wants to make her relatives and friends live a better life within her ability.
As for other major issues, she knew very well that she couldn't influence them too much, so she didn't try to be assertive.
In the long river, she is just a passerby.
The Queen Mother hissed: "That's because you don't know the power you have. If you are willing, there are two men who are willing to give you everything they have. For example, Gu Yilan, for example, Meng Jia."
Mu Yunhan frowned and categorically denied: "They have nothing to do with me. Your Majesty thinks too highly of me."
The Queen Mother smiled slightly: "Do you know why Gu Yilan is willing to cooperate with me? It's because of you.
I have seen too many people and things in my life to not be able to see this at all.
A person is willing to hide his name and appearance and turn himself into another person unless he has no choice. What do you think is the reason?"
Mu Yunhan's head slowly dropped, and the feeling in his heart was complicated and difficult to describe.
"I once thought that no matter what, I would bring you back to the capital, bring you into the palace, and hold you in the palm of my hand. In this way, whether it is Meng Jia or Gu Yilan, there will always be a little more fear.
But then I changed my mind, because I was about to die. I had to be strong all my life, thinking that running a country, even if I had never eaten pork and had seen pigs walking, I could handle it.
Unexpectedly, I really couldn’t do it well. I regret it very much. If I had known this, I shouldn’t have messed with it.”
The Queen Mother was filled with regrets: "A lot of times, my thoughts are like this, but when it gets passed down, it completely changes. I don't know what to do."
"Prime Minister Hu Yan was originally unwilling to go to Chunzhou to arrest Mu An, but he was persuaded by me to serve the country with loyalty and courage.
He was seriously injured in Pucheng and narrowly escaped death. After returning, he resigned from the post of general and locked himself in the house to avoid visitors.
I was very unhappy at first, but Gu Yilan came to see me. He said that the reason why Zhao Guo was like this was mainly because he had run out of energy.
If it is a prosperous age and the government is clear, even if I have no ability and Yan'er is two years younger, there will still be loyal ministers to support me through the difficulties.
But these are troubled times, I can't do it, and he can't do it... A-lin and Xing'er tried hard to do half of it, but unfortunately they couldn't finish it later.
Today, Gu Yilan said that he is unable to do anything else and does not want to do anything anymore."
"This is my fault. It's a pity that there is no regret medicine."
The Empress Dowager said softly: "I beg you, if the country is destroyed in the future, please keep the bloodline of the Zhao family alive."
She bowed solemnly to Mu Yunhan: "May you get what you want, be safe and happy."
"Go back. I just said that you should stay in the palace to guard Yan'er. It was nonsense. In fact, it is not necessary."
